Summer Tots!

myjohnsonboys · April 2014

How many swimsuits are you getting/ have gotten for your little one and from where? What are your must have outdoor toys and water play items for your tot?

T has 4 swimsuits. 2 are hand me downs, one from Carters and one from WalMart.

We bought a small-ish pool for the back yard and plan to get a sand box.

I went a little crazy this year with the toddler swimsuits. They're just so cute and little! I have 5 for A and 4 for C.

We have a little water play mat, and I'm going to get them a water table for this year.

I want to say we have 5 or 6. We got to the pool or splash pad every warm day and usually play in the sprinkler in the afternoon, plus we go to the lake a ton. Last year we frequently went thru 3-4 swim suits a day.

I think Leo has 4 suits and 4 rash guards. 2 bottoms and 3 tops from Boden, one top is Volcom, and I think the other 2 bottoms are Gap maybe. Oh, and he has a Tea Collections set too.

We have a ton of out door toys for the boys. The most used are the Kickboard USA scooters, Strider balance bike, and Hot Wheels quads. We also have a water table, kiddie pool, and hook up a sprinkler to the hose and let them run around in it.

We have 3 swimsuits for this summer so far, looking to get 2 more and a rash guard top. Suits are Gap Kids, Target and Crazy 8.

We have a red rider bike/trike combo, step 2 wagon, sand box, 2 kiddies pools and a daisy crazy sprinkler. Most were bought at Buy Buy Baby and Target.

Anyone have recommendation link to a water table?

Sophia has one regular suit, and one rash guard, both from Gap, though she still fits in her suit from last year, crazy as that seems. I'll likely pick up another suit if/when she starts swimming lessons again.

Our current outdoor toys include two radio flyer trikes, a rocking horse, sidewalk chalk, big bounce balls, and bubbles. I'll probably add a fun sprinkler, kiddie pool, and some kind of bubble blower... I haven't thought beyond that though. We also have a playground really close to our house, so we spend a fair amount of outside time there.

M&M has 2 bathing suits right now and they are both from Zulily. Our summer must haves for her are a bunch of inflatable toys for our lake house and a life jacket. In our backyard we have a pretty big toddler pool with sprinkler and a toddler size picnic table with an umbrella. I'd like to find a water table/ sand table combination.

They each got a new suit for Easter, Colby has one of keagans hand me downs, and keagans from last year still fits. We live 5 minutes from a lake with a beach. We do have a swing set, sandbox, and plastic pool out back.

DS got a suit for his birthday at the end of March. DD has no bathing suit yet. I need to get on this because we will have a massive yard in 5 weeks for which we already have a slip and slide, a water pad, and sprinkler. I'd like them to have 3 each.

MississippiCatfish · April 2014

We have one swim suit and that works for us. I think we'll buy a kiddie pool and some kind of sand/water table. He'll have his cozy coupe and a few other things like that outside, too.

I have one nice suit for each kid. I'll get an additional rash guard to pair with just a swim diaper as a back up. It's enough for us. We won't be doing pools or the beach this summer.

We're getting a water table. We have a slide/swing combo play set, and then random small items - shovels, rakes, balls, bubbles, etc. I'm sure my kids will just play with dirt and sticks anyways.

I'll get a cheap inflatable pool and then I'm having DH make this...

I'm very excited about the sprinkler thing.

Oooh I love that sprinkler! That will definitely be getting made here, too.

So far Liam has a speedo from Zara with a Gap rash gurad and 3 other swim trunks from Baby Gap. I have two new ones for my 4 year old but he also can still fit two from last year. We have a pool in our yard but I need to pick up some pool toys and inflatable balls. We have bikes, scooters, a push car, bubbles, and chalk. I'm now looking for a water table and sand box.

We have the Lazy Daisy sprinkler and a kid pool that is about 9X6 I guess and maybe 18 inches deep for summer. Each of my kids have about 4 bathing suits and summer hats and a beach towel. I need to get them more outside chalk because they love that stuff. They have the scooters, the Sit 'n Spin, bikes, about 8 oversized Tonka trucks, trampoline, a playhouse, and a swing set. We've accumulated quite a bit of outdoor things in the past 6 years for the kids.

Currently B has 2 swim suits/rash guard sets but I'll see how the summer goes and maybe get one more. We have a ton of toys for him for summer. A sand/water table, small pool, sand box, swing, slide, wagon, tricycle, bike trailer for my bike, several sprinkler options and there's aways a few parks near by. Plus we plan on going to the lake a lot this summer too. That is if summer, even spring decides to show up!

DD has 5-6 swim suits and about as many cover ups. We have a lake house so we keep 2-3 there and the other ones we use for the sprinkler at home or the pool.

Toy-wise, we have a sprinkler and a water table at home. We do a lot of chalk/bubble stuff too. She has a tricycle thing but isn't very interested. At the lake we have a pontoon and jet skis. I won't let her go on the jet skis, so she floats around in Her life jacket (obviously with an adult right there). I may let her go on a baby ride with an adult in a tube this year.

Edit: answer toy question.
